The Fountains the teams were using in the late 80's were kevlar hulled but otherwise standard offshore racing boats with no frills but a lot of com equipment and armament. Team 6 had 4 of these craft, all in a dark blue. In 1990 they had new boats that were specifically built to their specs and they were painted in a camo pattern. These you can find today for sale, the early ones were pretty much destroyed in operational use.
